Pécs Zoo & Aquarium-Terrarium is one of the smallest Hungarian zoos. It was established in 1960 in the Mecsek mountain above the city, and was originally known as Mecsek Cultural Park. A now-closed amusement park, established in 1961 was also on the site, linked to the zoo by a 570 m light railway.

Animals are always amazing, especially the small and cute one. The "PécsZoo" has a very limited area, because it's built on one of the water reservoirs of the city. Additionally, the place is part of the forest, which belongs to "Natura2000" areas (that are parts of the nature, where rare birds live). That's, why the opportunities to expand and to collect more-and-more species aren't given here. Despite of all that, it's a very kind, friendly, familiar and sweet zoo.

The prices are on the avarage/cheaper side compared to other zoos in the country. The parking is close to the entrance, the road leading up the hill side is steep and narrow sometimes, so be prepared for some tougher...
